❒manualpressing the “immediate
heating” button on the timer again
(flame button 6).
In both cases, the heating warning
light, the display lighting and the
passenger compartment heater fan
go off and burning stops.The fluid circulation pump
continues to work for around two
minutes to dissipate as much
heat as possible; the heater can be
turned back on during this stage.
22)
IMPORTANT The parking heater
goes off when battery voltage is low
to allow the vehicle to be started.
IMPORTANT Before turning on the
device, ensure that the fuel level
is above the reserve. Otherwise the
device could lock and require the
assistance of a Fiat Dealership.
❒Always turn off the heater when
refuelling and near service stations to
avoid the risk of explosion or fire
hazards.
❒Do not park the vehicle on
inflammable material such as paper,
grass or dry leaves: fire hazard!
❒The temperature near the heater
should not exceed 120°C (e.g. during
oven painting in a body shop). The
electronic control unit components
may be damaged at higher
temperatures.❒Whilst the heater is operating with the
engine switched off, it absorbs
energy from the battery; the engine
should therefore be left running
for a while to make sure that the
battery is properly recharged.
❒To check the coolant level, follow the
instructions in the "Vehicle
maintenance" chapter, "Engine
coolant system fluid" paragraph. The
water in the heating circuit must
contain a minimum percentage of
10% antifreeze.
❒For maintenance and repairs, consult
only a Fiat Dealership and use only
original parts.MAINTENANCE
Have the additional heater checked
regularly at a Fiat Dealership (and
always at the start of every winter).
This will guarantee safe and
economic operation of the heater
as well as a long duration.

additional heater must never
be turned on, not even for short
periods, in closed environments
such as a garage or workshops
without extraction fans for the

AUTOMATIC MAIN
BEAM HEADLIGHTS
In order not to dazzle other road
users, the lights are automatically
deactivated when approaching
vehicles travelling in the opposite
direction or when following a car
travelling in the same direction.
The system is activated with the
menu item and by rotating the light
selector to the AUTO position.When the main beam headlights
are activated for the first time,
pulling the stalk to turn them on
activates the function and the iconis displayed; if the main beam
headlights are actually on, the
relevant blue warning light
is
displayed as well.
If the driving speed is over 40 km/h
and the function is activated, pulling
the stalk again to the main beam
headlight position deactivates
the function.
If the driving speed is below 15
km/h and the function is activated,
the function switches the main
beam headlights off. Pulling the
stalk again to the main beam
headlight position is interpreted as
a request for main beam headlights
constantly on, therefore the blue
warning light
on the panel
switches on and the main beam
headlights are constantly on until
the speed exceeds 40 km/h again.
The function is activated again
automatically when 40 km/h is
exceeded
.If the stalk is pulled again in this
condition, to request main beam
headlight deactivation, the function
remains off and the main beam
headlights switch off.

AUTOMATIC
HEADLIGHT SENSOR
(dusk sensor)
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
It detects variations in brightness
outside the vehicle depending
on the light sensitivity setting: the
greater the sensitivity, the less

Activation
Turn the ring nut to position
fig.

dipped beam headlights on
simultaneously and automatically
depending on the exterior
brightness conditions.
Deactivation
On the sensor’s deactivation
command, the main beam
headlights will switch off, followed
by the side lights after
approximately 10 seconds.
The sensor is not capable of
detecting the presence of fog.
Therefore, in these circumstances,
the lights have to be turned on
manually.
WARNING
23) The daytime running lights are
an alternative to dipped beam
headlights for driving during the
daytime. They are compliant in
countries where is it obligatory to
have lights on during the day
and permitted in those where it is
not obligatory. Daytime running
lights cannot replace dipped
beam headlights when driving at
night or through tunnels. The
use of daytime running lights is
governed by the highway code of
the country in which you are
driving. Comply with legal
requirements.
24) The system is based on
recognition via a camera.
Particular environmental
conditions may affect the correct
recognition of traffic conditions.
Therefore, the driver is always
responsible for the correct use of
the main beam headlights in
compliance with the laws in force.
Rotate the ring nut to the
fig.
58 position to deactivate the
automatic function.25) Should the camera tilt too much
due to a load variation, the system
may not work temporarily to allow
the camera to perform an
autocalibration.
